Well what I mean is the rest of the bombcrew (i.e Vinny, Jeff, Ryan, and Brad).

Patrick:

- Feels strongly about IOS and mobile games

- Feels strongly about social games or Games=Art games with social-political messages.

- Feels strongly about Zelda: Majora's Mask (yes that's important)

It seems like those are things Jeff and Ryan at least have always been against. Anyone feel the same?

It's not about feeling. Those things are true. Whereas someone like Kessler is very much like the staff, Patrick isn't. Adds diversity.

As much as I do hate the "Man, Patrick sucks, man" threads, I don't really feel like this is one of them. I feel like the OP is talking about how Patrick brings an added dimension to the Bombcast, which is good.

But if this is one of those threads, nobody cares.

Oh just be quiet.

OP: You make it sound like a bad thing to have people with different opinions on.

I love how people will see Patrick in the thread title and assume it's another Patrick hate thread. More varied taste is a good thing IMO.

If you mean this in a good way, yes, he absolutely adds diversity and is a much-welcome addition.

If you mean this in a bad way, fuck your face and shut right the fuck up. These threads suck.

Isn't this a good thing, I mean the reason I enjoy listening to the GOTY discussions so much is the varying opinions and the debate that it causes, if it was just people agreeing for an hour it would get pretty boring. I think it's great that giantbomb has a group of pretty diverse tastes now especially at times like this.

Unless that is the point you are making.

@insanejedi: My biggest complaint agains GB is that everyone seemed to think the same. When they throw shit against MMO's, sports games, japanese games, facebook games, IOS games, and on and on, I never feel there's anyone to counter balance that. And there's a alot of people who love those games. So I take your post as a sign of hope. All opinions should be tested in some way.

And, really, "you need to play Saints row: the third" is proof of this. YOU REALLY DON'T.

I think he's probably the most critical of games but it's not like his opinion is out of place on this website. Hurray diversity!

I love it when people form opinions for you based on just a pointed out fact.

I personally agree but the only thing that really bothers me is he is just way to winded I hate when someone is talking and he bursts in and tries to finish everyone's (Hi this is patrick and I wanted to say that EBS was going to say "Sentences" have a good day).

I appreciate Patrick's added dimension to the site. To me, adding more diversity is fantastic for Giant Bomb. The Endurance Run has endeared him to me, and I look forward to his place in the site in 2012. :)

Anyone feel that these Patrick threads need to stop?

I do. He's my second favourite member of Whisky Media after Will Smith and people will try and find faults whenever something changes (a new member/a site redesign).

I really don't care about iOS games and it makes me laugh how he thinks they can hang with the likes of the other games mentioned, but I don't care. I've been a big fan of Klepecks since he worked at 1Up.

Then you are one of THEM. My missiles are launched.

It's a good game but extremely overhyped by Ryan and Jeff. It's weird, I thinks Ryan and Jeff are funnier than the things they think are funny... what the hell does that mean?

I hear ya man, I actually went ahead and bought the game full price on Steam after 2 podcasts of hype for it, but was like "you, it's more Saints Row alright". Not saying it's bad but rather I feel it's really just continuing on the tracks SR2 set.

Also, dead on about Jeff's and Ryan's preference of things funny. Goddammit. Man, why'd you have to point that out, now I'm wondering what it means as well.

We don't need another one of these threads. Patrick is part of the "Giant Bomb crew", regardless of your opinions. Deal with it.
